Hello,

I have designed a macro that utilizes the InternetExplorer.Application
object to log in to a website and download a zip file containing a csv
of daily-updated data. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to
manipulate the "File Download" prompt and resorted to using SendKeys
(bad) to open the excel file and csv. I cannot simply open the
download url directly because it is not accessible outside of the
authenticated ie session.

As a result, the csv file that I attempt to open will not load until
the macro is complete, so I cannot continue parsing it and sending it
to an access database, as I would like to.

I have included the pertinent parts of my code. I would like
"exported" in CleanData to take on the name of the newly-opened csv
file, and then continue to parse its contents, but vba does not
recognize the second workbook that I open because it delays its
opening until the code is done running.

Any advice as to breaking the macro, or opening the file in another
way would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Eugene
